10. Remove the dash by following the procedures
described in Chapter 4: Body.
11. Disconnect the drive shaft from the engine by
removing the four patch bolts using a 7/16" wrench.
See Figure 2.23.
12. Remove the four nuts and bolts, indicated by the
arrows in Figure 2.24, that hold the engine to the
sub frame using a pair of 9/16" wrenches.
13. Attach a lift chain to the engine's lifting points.
See Figure 2.25.
NOTE: The lift chain should be approximately 2' -
2.5' (61 - 76 cm) long and is of sufficient
strength to safely support weight of the
engine.
14. Using an engine hoist, gently lift the engine while
sliding it off of the drive shaft and out the front of the
tractor.
NOTE: Be careful sliding the engine off of the drive
shaft. If the drive shaft coupling gets caught,
it will come apart, spilling the blue rollers on
the ground.
